Security BSides Portland is this Friday. It kicks off Thursday evening with a meet and greet, and Friday is filled with two tracks of interesting talks. Read more about it at the BSidesPDX site. Looks like registration is full, but they are accepting names on the waitlist. If you are interested in going, get yourself over there and register. It's FREE!

Dedication

My grandfather had a wonderful shop in his basement. To me, it was a place of mystery and fascination, and I would spend hours wandering through it, looking at all the tools and projects in various states of completion. Not being much of a wood worker, I've never had the need for such a shop (not to mention that I lack a basement), but recently it occurs to me that my gear, computers, and software are my shop. This site is for my late grandfather and everyone else who takes personal pride in carefully executed work.
